Old students join hands to revive schools sundial
The old sundial at SDV Boys Higher Secondary School in Alappuzha, designed in 1938, is now functioning again thanks to the efforts of former students.

Former drawing teacher Mohan Kumar led the renovation project, recording the readings on the sundial for future generations. The sundial’s limitations include the need for significant sunlight to determine time accurately.
